Freepers/Drudge Make Misleading Obama Shot from Video

As shown on Drudge and put on Free Republic: (& if he had .. who could have blamed him..and Sarko looks to be "red-blooded" - but it was taken out of context from a video)  Look at the video, - the president was on a higher step and was stepping down -- so he looked down to assure his footing as the woman was walking up the stairs.  

Media Matters: Did you hear the one about the sleazy Obama photo? Don't buy it.

A member of  Free Republic posted a Reuters photo that the news wire captioned as "U.S. President Barack Obama and France's President Nicolas Sarkozy take their places with junior G8 delegates for a family photo at the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy."  The Free Republic member invited other members to submit alternative captions for the photo, resulting in dozens of sexually suggestive replies, some using racist epithets.

Thirty minutes later, Internet gossip Matt Drudge promoted the same photo with the headline "Mr. President!" Drudge later revised his headline to read "Second Stimulus Package!"  About two hours later, at 5:12 p.m., the The Fox Nation posted the picture along with the headline "Another Stimulus?"   ABC News' Jake Tapper posted the photo with the headline "When In Rome...?"  Tapper posted this message on Twitter: "that foto of POTUS seeming to be sneaking a leer is misleading, im told - video shows the moment was completely innocent."  Drudge subsequently included a link to Tapper's blog post with the headline "ABCNEWS: NO HE DIDN'T ..."  A classic example of how the right-wing noise machine works was unfolding before the American people. 

& here is our former President in China at the Olympics .. a man I never found remotely attractive.  The Freepers seem very insecure in their own sexuality, especially since so many of their heroes have been caught in compromising positions (Vitter, Larry Craig, Haggard, Foley, Ensign, Sanford etc. etc.) Or David Brooks complaining that a Republican Senator had his hand on his inner thigh during dinner..  Freepers have also taken to trashing the Obama daughters with overtly hateful and racist slams, especially disliking that the eldest daughter wore a shirt with a peace sign on it. Family values? Anyway, that's nothing (admit you looked at the twins!)

This is just the beginning.

Expect every day from here on in until Election Day 2012 to be more of the same, except it's going to get a lot more vicious and meaner.

They'll keep pushing and pushing looking for any chink in the armor that they can find.

Eventually they're going to hit Pay Dirt.

Insert Betty Davis 'Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride' line here.

Then all of their embarrassing scandals have to continue to be uncovered.
They need to be boycotted, girlcotted, cuckolded etc etc etc.

I got a wingnut email that said "One million people have signed the thing that Obama doesn't have a birth certificate" - love Pat Boone (that's a paraphrase but anyway..)

Well that new leader of Honduras is Italian and his Constitution says he must be Honduran.
